October 5, 2026 · Orlando, FL The 11th annual Orlando Beer Festival is set for Saturday, November 14, 2026, and this year it moves downtown to Lake Eola Park, 512 Eola Parkway. The festival spent past years at Festival Park in the Milk District, so check your plans and parking before you head out. Entry is staggered by ticket type. VIP guests get in at noon, GA+ at 1 p.m., and general admission at 2 p.m. Everything wraps at 5 p.m. Every ticket includes samples of beer, cider, seltzer, wine, and more from participating brands, so there is no paying drink by drink once you are inside. VIP adds a private area with tables and seating, private restrooms, complimentary bites, exclusive tastings, a limited-edition festival T-shirt, and a commemorative glass. GA and GA+ guests can arrive early to visit the food truck zone before their entry time. Organizers list DJs throughout the afternoon, a game zone with giant beer pong, and local artisans and vendors. The festival is dog friendly for well-behaved pets, and it is strictly 21+ with valid ID, so no kids. Organizers note that rare and popular pours can go quickly, so arrive near the start of your entry window if there is something you want to try. Orlando's biggest beer festival is back on November 14 with a new lakeside home at Lake Eola Park and samples included with every ticket.
